Born today, September 16, you are the kind of person that others seek when they are in need of a role model, teacher or guide -- for you seem to know how to maneuver through life with aplomb, wisdom and fun. You know how to take what comes with just the right amount of serious reflection and casual abandon. You're not one to dwell on the negative or to revel too long in the positive; you understand that life is best lived in a balanced manner that keeps the extremes to a minimum -- even the highest highs.

There are times, however, when you may not seem exactly plugged in to the larger issues that prevail in a given situation -- and you may not always see in certain situations, events or developments the kind of significance that others see. Still, you rarely ignore the messages that life sends you day by day.

Today’s Virgo Horoscope: The new and the different provide you with a great deal to think about -- and in the end you'll enjoy exercising a few unique options.

You have really had a time of it. I just read your story and I really wish you the best. It sounds like you are recovering. Just take it slowly and hopefully things will progress nicely.2702 days ago

Born today (Sept. 16), you are drawn to tasks and endeavors that allow you to explore your abilities on your own, and you are not the kind to share what you are doing with others until you know that you are doing it right and you are nearing your established goals. In short, you do not like the world at large to be party to the process of your life but rather only to the results that you win in the end. Certainly this will mean that you spend a great deal of time alone, but that is something you can get used to, and in fact you may come to prefer it. Remember, however, that you are still a social animal, and require interaction now and then to keep you on an even keel.

You are close to your friends, but never too close -- that is, there is always a part of yourself that you keep concealed, even from those in your inner circle. They may or may not be aware of this, too, and whether they are or not will have an effect on how you and they relate. Also, when a parting of the ways comes, you're not the kind to grieve endlessly.

Today’s Virgo Horoscope: It's time to tend to a personal problem that you have been ignoring for too long. Very soon, it may be too complicated for you.
